How to prepare your content for your poster presentation
The first thing to do before you start working of your research poster is to organize your text, images, graphs, charts, logos, etc. This is the most important and often the most overlooked time saving-part of the process.
Many research poster presentations are conversions of pre-existing documents such as multi-slide PowerPoint presentations or multi-page MS Word documents.
